HTC Leaks Crafty Teaser Shots of Incredible HD

Could a planned leak get anymore obvious? HTC clearly just sent out pictures of an upcoming device to a variety of blogs, that we’re assuming is the new Incredible HD. Of course, we can’t actually tell, because the “anonymous tipster” managed to hide every piece of the phone that would give it away. Silly HTC.

People, PEOPLE! Listen! Be honest and realistic here! When do you expect LTE to come to your city? By the time it does, there will be better phones to choose from. Plus the data rates for LTE make a 4G device for me not in the cards. Doesn't mean I don't want this phone or I don't care about new technology. I just don't understand people wanting LTE so bad, when many people probably won't be able to use it. Also, don't knock any device! Just because you like Motorola doesn't mean you have to come on a thread that's about a phone you don't like and post all sorts of negative crap about it. We are on the same team here! There, I said it. Whew! =)

LTE is already in my city.

+1 for me.

Tjpeco

+1 for you…… as no one “Like” your comment

Then you should buy this phone then.

Just an FYI- Verizon hasn't released any data pricing for phones yet. Everything that is out there is just for mobile broadband.

chistian

this looks really nice.. but if its going to be 4g then it might not come out so soon because verizon said motorola is going to be first 4g on verizon!!

DonnyD

Does this run Iphone OS? If not and it runs android whats the point there are no applications!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

same thing basically since bing doesnt belong on a google phone in the first place.

Looks pretty solid from the pic, but will wait and see after the CES for the other 4lte phones.

BigFonz

Me want.

I may be wrong but I think we are all sure that htc is the only company with a phone utilizing the “fingernail” hole to remove the backplate. Aside from the fact that they are we using the same camera from tue og inc.

This is what I might switch to when I get my money. Hopefully the bootloader isnt locked cuz its really starting to annoy me on my droid2 now that gingerbread is out and i have to wait for moto when i could be installing a custom rom!

lol how fast do you actually need your phone? The only part where I wish it had dual core is when it crashes…wait…that wouldn’t help? >.<

My NewEveryTwo is not do till July but I can still do an early upgrade as i have the OG Droid should i jump on the first LTE phone I like or wait for the second batch of LTE phones and use my NewEveryTwo? any opinons? yes, I'm a lucky guy.

well if you wait, you could still go for the first generation – you’d have the option of choosing either one and you’d have the benefit of several months worth of feedback.

I don't want to be a negative Nancy, but color me unimpressed, why exactly is everyone falling all over it? By the time it comes out it will feel old with a single core Snapdragon. All these dual core Tegra 2 phones/tablets are expected at CES and to be the driving platform behind Honeycomb. Short of Sense, all future phones will have LTE, and probably a front facing camera. So what's left? History already shows HTC and Verizon have an awkward cousin relationship with Android through the Eris and Incredible and no one STILL quite knows what happened to the Merge. It always seems like HTC is a day late or a dollar short. By the time Moto comes out with an LTE ff camera version of the X (Olympus based?) , this will lost in the shuffle. I'm no fan of any one manufacturer, but certainly food for thought. I'd hate to say I told you so by June 😉

from the rumors i have heard about it is supposed to have a dual core 1.5 ghz processor (3rd gen qualcom), not a 1 ghz single core snapdragon. just saying

it looks like the incredible in some way, the biggest one was look at the camera placement that alone gives it away

CurtisNic

idk…im in love with my free incredible that i got during free phone friday…i only need the most current anddroid build and im set. i could care less about lte. plus the power buttons on the wrong side ;P

I can’t believe how quickly people will just jump off of a perfectly good phone. I’m still rocking my D1, and told myself to hold out until a phone is available with LTE, Dual Core, Hardware Keyboard, Front Facing Camera, NFC, etc, etc, etc. These damn devices develop so quickly people seem to forget that they don’t need to bother with every new generation, because it will be out of date in 6-8 months anyway. My advice: Save your money, skip a generation, and hack your DX with awesomesauce.

Yeah, I totally agree. While all these phones look very good, I’ll probably hold on to my Droid X at least for another 2-4 years. Even if the time when I don’t get official software updates comes, I can rely on the huge developer community that has formed. 🙂

Still rockin the D1 also, and have the exact same view. Tho tempting, i want a dual core,with front facing camera…

i loved the og droid and i am enjoying my droid x butim sick of moto to be honest. had my first og for almost a year and then its keyboard started coming off. went through 5 refurbishes in a few months (all of them bad the moment i opened but had to wait for the previous to be recieved before i could go back in) then got my early upgrade to a droid x. had the first one for less than a week before its speaker started messing up. im on my second NEW DX and today had to go in because its back button had “sank”. they fixed it in the store but not before putting a chip in my phone and a dent on my button. only have a couple weeks left before my exchange date is past and im wondering if i should downgrade to the incredible or fascinate. would switch to the r2d2 but its still motorola, and as my story depicts quite well, my experience with motorola has been less than satisfactory.

As much as id love this phone to replace my incredible, im going to have to skip it 🙁 contracts ends in july and I know something better will be out by then.

tinycouch

I hope they start embedding exposure data in their exifs!

kimir

huh

Changjoe

when you take photos with HTC phones, the photo doesn't contain exif data.

Changjoe

I meant the exif data doesn't include exposure.

Please allow for some kind of dock this time…

Placing volume rocker on same side as the usb port was just stupid.

Michael_NM

This device could change my vote in the poll from earlier today…

Ferg40

Same here bro…

Johnny

Ok so I got the original inc and I love it to death.and my upgrade isn't until june of 2012. One month after the end of the world -_- so my question is…so my last moments on earth are held with an lte phone in my hands. Is there anyway I could pull some sneaky stuff and upgrade early?

Jamerson90

Dude… end of the world is in december 2012. You're golden. Lol

Johnny

ahh but that's what they want you to think so that when the real date comes on may 21st nobody will be prepared haha

Anonymous

how do you prepare for the end of the world?

involves lots of booze and lots of fireworks. I’m stockpiling as we speak 🙂

Hey May 21st is my buh-buh-buh-birthday.

I've found threatening to cancel and move to a competitor usually gets them going and dealing.

Went from a d1 and eris last december to an dinc and dx this summer, using that very method. Aside from being picky, I have also gotten several free replacements and sd cards demanding better products. Not planning on anything new soon, although I also have a note in my account allowing another free upgrade out of contract when I choose another phone. Took tens of hours to get where I am, calling back several times. Thank god for bluetooth, I would have a tumor just from the time spent talking to vzw.

On the final day all of the Droid’s will work together and stop the world from ending.

You can upgrade any line 49.99 and higher once every 12 months. Otherwise, you can add a line for 9.99 and then move the phone to the number you want and put an old crappy phone on the new line. Then, that line can upgrade every 20 months, in this way you get one a year for the primary and every 2nd year you can upgrade twice! Granted, over 24month contract you will pay 240 for the secondary line, but thhe other choice is 500+ up front for full retail. So in the end youndo pay 440 for the phone, but it is spaced out over 2years…and you have an extra line, port your home number (if you have one still)

One more from AndroidCentral. Defiantly is the Mecha/IncHD/Scorpion/JesusPhone. ;P
